Hi Tim, 1 other thing to check is making sure your ribbons are maximized. To navigate ribbons more efficiently the ribbons need to be maximized. The keystroke is, control + F1. This keystroke is a toggle so, this keystroke will maximize & minimize. To check if the ribbons are minimized / maximized do the following: 1. Press the, Alt key, to open the ribbons. 2. Open the context menu with either the application key or, shift + F10. 3. Arrow up or down to the, Minimize, option. If, Minimize, is checked, the ribbons are minimized Pressing, enter, on this checkbox, will uncheck it & close the context menu & your menues will now be maximized.
Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iGasSucking460Powered1969Mach1! ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill White via Jfw To: Ford, Tim (CDPH-OLS) ; The Jaws for Windows support list.

Note that it will still have ribbons, but it will be more accessible. This is from the WindowsLiveMail JAWS Users Guide Customizing Windows Live Mail Hiding the reading and calendar panes To simplify the navigation in the main window in the Mail view, you may want to hide both the Reading (preview) and the Calendar panes. You can do this using a couple of controls which are both in the Layout group of the View tab: a.. The Reading pane menu button opens a set of options, where you can choose the Off option. b.. The Calendar pane button is pressed by default, and can be unpressed by pressing it. If you really want the reading pane, then to ensure that Jaws reads the Message list correctly, then do one of the following: a.. Set the Reading pane options to Bottom of the message list, rather than Right of the message list. b.. On the View tab, in the Layout group, press the Message list menu button, and choose one line view. Hiding the preview pane To simplify the navigation in the main window in the Contacts view, you may want to hide the preview pane. 1.. You can only hide this pane if the view of the contacts is set to List rather than Online status. On the Home tab, in the View group, press the View As menu button, and Choose List. 2.. Again on the Home tab, in the View group, move to the Preview button. If Jaws reads the state of the button as being pressed, press the button. Show the status bar By default, the status bar is not shown. To show it: on the View tab, in the Layout group, select the Status bar button. If Jaws doesn't say the button is pressed, then press the button.
